REPRESENTATIVE GREEN, Of Summit

the wire manipGlRtOrs Of the God and
morality party, and all Oh account Of his
unlucky bill against Sunday desecration
n Cinci lnsti Mr., Green is an honest
and conscientious man, and was foolish
enough to believe that the party he acts
with, was as honest In Its professions
as himself and hence acted from that
stand point. But he has learned better

Ashland Times sounds the keynote
when, without considering the measure
In any other light than its effect upon
elections, it says: Every time, for tue
past twenty five years, Republican
success In Ohio has been In doubt,
every time we have been defeated, the
cause can be traced to fools in the Leg

their names in type. They are trying

There Ia no objection on our part to the
Rev. Green of Summit county, applying
as much of this as he chooses to his
action In the Legislature"
Mr.. Green and his friends must feel
proud of the party which will not pass
his bill for fear Of losing few votes.
He will naturally begin to conclude
that the "squaws" are to be found on
the Republican side Of the House and
not in the Senate.

CONCERNING the sensation originated

himself for Senatorial fl ght, the En-
qurer claims the right Ito speak for
Mr.. Mclean and begs the privilege OF
announcing that he Is not an aspirant
for any flee, either elective or appoint
I've; hat he would not accept any such
Oti ~ II rendered him, and that this de-
termination relates not only to the pres
enC but to the future. 1t is sought to
make this disclaimer so far reaching
that there may be no occasion to make
1t again. 1t Is asked that 1t be received
at it's full face value, and that this
paper be relieved from the necessity Of
ever repeating 1t For once and for all
IL Is here declared" If we are correct
IN our conception of Its meaning, the
Enquirer wishes 1t to be understood
thai John R is not q candidate. Are we
correct?
